Well everybody else seems to be doing their business now (e.g. Havant/Waterlooville, Solihull) so I hope we have some ideas, otherwise there won't be anybody decent left to sign!

Come July, loads of good players will still be available and looking for a club, they will also be cheaper. In an ideal world the whole squad will be done and dusted by mid June, but given we have limited budget, that means we need to be prudent and sensible. We have to trust those running our club. After all SD was famous for signing players the day before yesterday, and look where that got us!

Hope you're right! You could also argue that if a few teams haven't signed anybody in July, then prices will actually go up, as desperate clubs fight for mediocre players 'left on the shelf'. But I agree you might get some bargains at that time too. 'After all SD was famous for signing players the day before yesterday, and look where that got us!' - was that meant as a good thing, or a bad thing?

Categorically bad. He wasted a shed load of money.

Scott Rendall has signed on for next season. Decent in the box. Let’s hope Yeates stays and he can assist Rendall all season

Should that be Scott Rendell ? Was with Shots, 30 appearances last term.

Yes - now 32, did really well for Woking for a couple of seasons, then got a terrible knee injury. Thankfully recovered and then moved to Aldershot where he did well enough in a relegation (maybe reprieved) team. Both Shots and Cards fans seem to think his best days are behind him, hope he proves them wrong. Like McCallum, he's good in the air and can hold the ball up. Welcome and good luck, Scott!
Our Twitter also mentions that Hollands and Miley have signed terms for next season, in addition to Williamson. Williamson and Rendell... might not be bad.

Didn't Stewart top up the crowd funding to pay for his medical treatment when he was at Woking?

Potentially could be getting Sam argent in from Basingstoke scored hat full last season and has announced he's leaving. Think Rendall be good sign if we can keep him fit and very much a goal poacher.

I think Sam Argent is on Aldershot's radar as well, although we do have the 'Basingstoke connection' in our favour.
He's scored a lot of goals but not sure if he's been above Southern League level yet.

Plus Jack McKnight has done pretty well for us since joining in January. Gotta go for players like that.

Sam Argent has today signed for Gosport Borough.
Bit worrying if we can't match their offer (I say in jest).
